LEXINGTON, Va. -- The 22nd-ranked Washington and Lee men's soccer team will face-off against Brevard in the first round of the NCAA Division III Tournament at Watt Field on Saturday at 1:00 pm in the teams' first-ever matchup against each other.
 
W&L is 14-2-4 overall this season and earned the ODAC's automatic qualification into the tournament after topping Roanoke, 2-1, in the conference championship game on Saturday. The Generals will be making their seventh straight appearance in the NCAA Division III Tournament.
 
The Generals are coming off their most successful NCAA Tournament trip from a season ago, when they advanced to the NCAA Semifinals for the first time in program history. Through the four games to get to the semifinals, W&L outscored its opponents 14-5, with multiple goals scored in each contest. Their run ended with a 2-1 overtime loss to eventual national champion Connecticut College.
 
Overall, W&L holds a 9-6-3 all-time record in the NCAA Championship, has advanced past the first round in six of seven appearances and owns three trips to the Sweet 16.
 
The Tornados are 12-5-3 overall this season and won the USA South title on Saturday by a 2-1 score in double-overtime over William Peace. Brevard's win in the conference championship game secured the team's first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament.
